    I’m really confused about the “No one can have my picture but almost every single one of my male believers is going to carry my name” situation.

    Religions are kind of weird, aren’t they?

      Well, really fundamentalist whackdoodle strains of Islam actually go so far as to claim that no pictorial depiction of any living thing is allowed. They just get really extra touchy about old Mr. M.

      Jury’s out on how, exactly, that would stand up to things like television and photographs. But I’m not an imam and I don’t have the entirety of the hadiths in front of me so I don’t fuckin’ know. The whole thing is obviously wonky on its face.

      Always has been. Religion is the single biggest reason to not believe in religion.
